The Distributist - A New Era On The Dissident Right

I chat to Dave aka The Distributist about the current moment in the ever-shifting movement that is the Dissident Right. We chat about the perils of social media, Twitter, Youtube, his break with liberalism, the evolution of the dissident right on the internet, the sexual revolution, and much more. The audio comes in two parts (slight tech failure) but both are very worthwhile. Dave has an excellent youtube channel that covers political philosophy and cultural commentary from a Catholic and often neo-reactionary perspective.

Charles Haywood - Post-Liberal Doomer Optimism

I talk to Charles about finding ourselves at a very generative intersection of political ideas, in what feels to be a pivotal moment & in great company - post-liberalism is here and it is up to us to feel out the contours of the future, to at least not let it surprise us, and at best have a part in creating it. We speak about: The three strands of post-liberal thought - what does the territory look like? Gatekeeping on our side: "no friends to the right" The Enlightenment and its discontents "The regime is extremely fragile" Neoreaction and his take on Curtis Yarvin What does the new online right look like and why is it so generative? Seeing tech as a tool, not a savior and space, the final frontier Why you should read "The Demon in Democracy" by Legutko Charles' recommended subversives are Carl Schmitt and Ernst Junger. Charles is a successful entrepreneur, an ex-lawyer, and the maximum leader of the Worthy House, a blog and podcast where he reviews a variety of books from a right-wing, post-liberal perspective.
